Pigeons. The real New York gangstas who run the streets in packs. Usually found in groups of twenty to thirty, they mate for life and each tend to raise two chicks at a time, and unlike most animals both parents feed their young. Although you see them on the ground eating your crumbs they can fly altitudes beyond 6000 feet. That way they can poop on you without you having any idea it was coming. Nobody likes pigeon poop but centuries ago pigeon feces was extremely valuable and used as fertilizer. People would literally guard pigeon houses so people wouldn't steal their poop. And for some reason pigeons are the only bird that don't have to lift their head up when they swallow water.
